Onekh

'Onkeh' is a wonderful sweet and fruity leather option, very much unisex, and which has a slightly warmed up animalic heart. The leather here is wonderfully soft, supple, smooth and almost buttery. Some leathers can be very sharp or abrasive in perfume, but I think this is a really beautiful formation, blended well to create an overall polished and smooth kind of texture as a whole. The actual bottle design, with the polished stone in the lid, fits this perfume perfectly! There's some labdanum resin in this which provides a nice warm amber in a sweetened base, with just a little bit of an incense and smokey feel to it. Somehow, the notes together create a spun sugar tint/marshmallow perception to my nose. This is not a bad thing! It's what makes this leather/oud fragrance unisex and something I feel could layer well with a perfume such as 'Oriana' by PDM or 'Love Done be Shy' by Killian, if one were to push it more in a feminine direction. I will try this in a moment and report back. The oud (I believe Laotian and some synthetic Oud) isn't actually too medicinal in this, although in the opening it can be a little bit strange perhaps to those unaccustomed to it as an ingredient in perfumes, seemingly appearing rancid or somewhat putridly sweet. What I have noticed, is that when my bottle was fresh the opening funk was more pronounced and its calmed down greatly and blended in far more over time with the other notes, whilst the balsamic and sweeter notes of the oud have bloomed. In all fairness, Its only gotten better over the months it's been sat in my cabinet. 'Onekh' is a delight to own and wear, easily becoming one of my more favourite and interesting leathers in my collection. It's powerful and long lasting, still easily detected on my clothes and wrist the next day. A bottle should last anyone a very long time, as you don't need to overspray. Edit - layering this with PDM's 'Oriana' is GREAT! Glad I tried this out. I love it.

Notwithstanding the fragrance note pyramid on this page, this is a great oud/saffron scent that, like so many similar note combinations, yields a nice leather accord. The scent is warm and spicy but dry. I get nothing animalic or medicinal from this cleaned up oud, just an enviable richness that suggest natural materials and quality blending. The notes are loaded with strong masculine associations. Projection is considerable and longevity is more than 10 hours of my skin in cold or cool weather. Ordinarily, I only wear this scent in cold weather, but today I find myself in a late spring cold snap with temps staying under 10° C (>50° F) and heavy, cold rains. Onekh has proven a great choice for these conditions. In the sort of very high humidity I find myself today, the spices and labdanum in this scent combine with the oud to create a warming, incensey aura that is just great. Speaking of great, the presentation on all of these Bvlgari Le Gemme products is great, too. The bottles are incredible and look distinctive in the midst of a collection, the other packaging is also really good as is the atomizer. These luxury products from Bvlgari are expensive, in line with the other exclusives from the houses in the LVMH constellation of brands, but they are of suitably high quality to make the price seem less than outrageous. Be exceptionally selective about where you choose to purchase any Le Gemme product; fakes abound (see the two previous reviews for tales of woe). If this fragrance works with your budget, and you enjoy oud-based leather accords, Onekh is among the very best. Recommended.

An amber oud with a nice deviation from the ways I've experienced that combination before. I get wafts of smoked incense, the oud sourced from Laos is a beautiful, sweet/spicy, woody oud and mainly inoffensive, the minty geranium and citrus pop off the skin and keeps the fragrance fresh throughout its longevity into this rich supple luxury car leather accord, not that alcantara nonsense. A bit more of sweetness comes out as it begins to sit closer to skin though caramel is listed I don't really pick it up. And although Onekh is a darker profile I think it can be pulled off year round similar to a black suit or tux. If this is applied moderately in warmer temps it would be perfect because its not heavy, not balsamic and just lightly resinous. This is masculinity, refinement and confidence in a bottle. Signature scent worthy for me.

I, too, got scammed purchasing fake BVLGARI Le Gemme 'ONEKH' from a Russian seller on eBay. After that fiasco, I thought about buying it for full retail price ($326.00) at Bloomingdale's online. Luckily, I didn't because FedEx just delivered a 100% GENUINE bottle of 'ONEKH' that I recently purchased from FragranceNet.com (the link should be posted at the top of this page). After a 25% discount, the price was $221.99 + tax...shipping was free. I also wanted the GYAN, but it had already sold out. This site still has other different LE GEMME men's and women's fragrances available...AND, they also have a return policy. UPDATE:- Seems like 'ONEKH' lovers read this 'cause within just hours after posting, FragranceNet.com completely sold out of it...but you can request it by leaving them your email address.

Leathery fragrance with some sweet spices like a cinnamon stick is what im getting mainly very elegant fragrance i love it Soft dark, a begginer dark fragrance, elegant leather coming from the labdanum and a sweet spice is what better describes the fragrance... not a cloying or gourmand sweetness but just to contrast it Dont know the performance exactly i have only wear it twice but never counting the time but both have been over the 6hrs and proyection moderated not a beast for sure i can already tell that but also not weak right in the middle i would say leaning more to the moderate-weak side not the beast mode side
